I've been using a ZWO ASI2600MM for some time with no issues except that I was noticing that the gain would mysteriously change from 100 to 0. It was very frustrating, because I would often find that

Well, it was a short session. First I lost the camera USB connection, then the other USB cables stopped working. Tried two new cables but they worked for only 10 minutes. Only one cable is still

If it's working, don't mess with it. Re-greasing is not needed unless you run it every night for the next 5 years. Rolando

I swapped the scope/CCD with another system, both systems worked fine. So it is not clear to me what the problem was, whether it was mount or mount+scope/ccd, or something else. Brian, Did you see

I guess I’ll wait for Ray to chime in before installing 6.6. This reminds me of 6.5 when Ray recommended that we wait for 6.5sp1. cytan Sent from Yahoo Mail for iPad

The flattener works fine, but the camera has hiccups and tilt. It's too cold to try adjusting it tonight. Rolando

I'm sure you are testing the new flattener on the oldie but goodie. Can't wait to see your results!

Wes, I will be interested in your asi air + findings but I know you have to wait a bit longer. I still think you’ll want a HC but that’s my opinion, just comes in handy for the quick nights

Hello Astronuts, I have been imaging on and off for the last week or so in temperatures close to 0F. Tonight it is slated to drop down further to -12F (-25C). It's already at -18C, so this should be a

Yes, everything looks fine. Like I said, I don't know if copying the file over is the right thing to do, but everything looks ok and everything is working.

Can you get into APCC? How does it affect the performance? My installation was purely accidental. Time to roll back.

I did a search for the JPLEPH file and found it in a few locations. I copied it and pasted in the ASCOM\Astrometry directory. Now APCC opens and I can initialize the mount. Not sure if that's the

No, it's not just Alex. Same thing has happened to me.

Thanks Roland, a perfect answer from the man himself ! I look forwards to my name coming up on the list! I emailed Daleen yesterday but I guess I have a while to wait.

Oh No Emilio....... I am not rebooting my computer. Maybe Ray will opine. I don't have an error yet, and I think I did reboot after I installed. I actually installed 6.6 in hopes of getting my

I installed ASCOM 6.6 and everything seemed to work fine with it. However, I had to reboot the computer today, and when I start APCC, I get this error: Note that I also have APCC 1.9.3.3

The mount controller (CP4) retains whatever it was sent from any source. It retains that setting in its memory until you send another instruction to turn that function off. PE On/Off setting is

I have the HC (actually one for each mount - 1200,1100,Mach2) With the Mach2 which I use mostly for imaging with a computer and APCC (and TheSky) I have no need for the HC and have not used it much.
